Gyrating Electron as EM Wave Source

**Assertion (A):** The gyrating electron can be a source of EMW.
**Reason (R):** The electron in circular motion is accelerated motion.
 
Both (A) &(R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) &(R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

A gyrating electron undergoes circular motion, which is accelerated motion. Accelerated charges are sources of electromagnetic waves. Therefore, Assertion and Reason are true, and R correctly explains A.
